Easy shrimp and beef taco recipe

September 8, 2015

Some of my favorite meals are the rustic kind that I don’t put much thought into and usually involve me throwing things together without following a recipe. These shrimp and beef tacos are a perfect example. I made them on a Friday night when we wanted something light and quick. I knew they were a hit when the BF had more than 3 servings.

Ingredients

2 cups raw shrimp

1 small package stir fry beef or skirt steak

1 avocado

2 cups shredded lettuce

steak and shrimp seasoning of your choice

6 restaurant style flour tortillas

Salsa:

2 plum tomatoes (seeds removed) chopped

1/2 a medium red onion chopped

2 green onions sliced

1/4 a jalapeno chili (seeds removed) chopped

1 clove garlic minced

1 handfull cilantro chopped

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

dressing:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 clove garlic

1 tsp sriracha sauce

Directions

– Mix all the salsa ingredients in a bowl and set aside allowing flavors to combine

– Mix all the dressing ingredients and set aside

– Cook shrimp and beef in a hot pan till golden brown for about 5 minutes each, its important not to overcook the meat.

– Use the same pan you used for the meat to heat up the tortillas

– Layer the tacos as you wish. I like to start with the dressing, lettuce, salsa then the meat.
